Yesterday Mommy, Daddy, and I went to Melissa's house to make applesauce. Melissa is mommy's friend from knitting. First we went to the orchard and picked two bags of apples. Then we went to Melissa's house and cut and washed them. My job was to wash the apples and Mommy and Daddy cut them. We gave the middles to the chickens. Mommy and Daddy were really slow cutting the apples so Melissa helped them. Then we put the apples in a big pot on the stove to cook until they were mushy. Then we put the mushy apples in the food mill and we had to turn the crank and applesauce came out. We had to sterilize the jars and the tops. Daddy had to hold the funnel and pour the applesauce into the jars from the funnel. I helped by wiping the applesauce off the funnel before it dropped on the seal of the jar. We made 8 large jars and three of them had cinnamon with brown sugar. We brought 2 jars over to grandma's house.
P.S. from Grandma - when I asked Marley why Mommy didn't take any pictures, Marley said..."because we were too busy having fun." I guess that is a good enough reason!
Marley, I loved your story about making applesauce. You are very good at telling a story and putting in all the details so that we can actually see in our mind everything that you did.
ReplyDeleteHi Marley ~ I bet you did have fun! I made applesauce and canned it last week on my vacation. I do it every year, to keep, and give away as gifts. Canning is a lot of hard work, but is fun and rewarding. You "are" a very good story teller...I do believe you got everything correct!
